Gold vector® 2010:
Conveyor unit of coal excavator
The winner of this year’s golden vector® is also the longest travel ever to be realised with plastic Energy Chains® in the world. The travel is 615 metres, and was designed in a power station belonging to the utility company CEZ Group in the Czech Republic.
Silver vector® 2010:
No more downtimes
Bucket wheel reclaimer
With this bucket wheel reclaimer, the setup can be moved in a circular movement by +/- 180°. This movement must also be able to be carried out by the Energy Chain®. The use of plastic Energy Chains® has resulted in a significant improvement in service life and fail-safeness.
Bronze vector® 2010:
More precise and flexible
Travelling column milling machine
In order to reduce the design space required and keep energy supply costs as low as possible, the Y- and Z-axes of this travelling column machine were to be realized using an energy chain. The travel is 0.7 metres on each axis, maximum travel speed 1.3 metres per second.
